TypeError: circular structure to JSON starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest' property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'Socket'


Im getting the following error when I try to make post request to my own typeorm API using axios:

TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    --> starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest'
    |     property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'Socket'
    --- property '_httpMessage' closes the circle
    at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)

I have tried to use some libraries to fix the circular structure JSON and parse it but both failed:

const safeStringify = require('json-stringify-safe');
const CircularJSON = require('circular-json');

None of the entities's relations have cascade option added.

await axios.post(apiName+'/object', data, { headers: { Authorization: res.req.headers.authorization } }).then(response => { res.send(response); });

Data example with the object I want to persist in my database:

                "name": "怪物事変"
            }
        ]
    }
}

If I try to post this JSON via Postman It works propperly. Buy not by code, maybe due the circular problem with the Entities


Solution

  • As @backtick said, I was supposed to do res.send(response.data) not the whole response object. Thank you
